Toed the midwit line for too long. Well now I am not doing it.


Prediction: We get crushed in 2026 and 2028. America First replaces MAGA in 2032. Stay the course.

We are going to have to work through our collective irony-poisoning. It’s high time to become cringe again. Meaning hides under cringe.


@QuixoteSword where does natural say "obey the voice of God"?


@michaeljknowles Honestly, there really is nothing distinctly Roman Catholic that influenced the American founding, and the founding repudiates much of what Rome taught at the time concerning the church's power vis-a-vis the state.



Presbyterian Pastors are ordained. J. Gresham #Machen was a Presbyterian pastor. All Presbyterian pastors are J. Gresham Machen.






WSJ: Arab governments were furious about Israel’s attack and the U.S. failure to head it off, officials said. They had aggressively lobbied the Trump administration to stop U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure and now feel a target has been put on their backs, they said… America’s Arab allies are now fuming that they don’t seem to have any influence with the Trump administration despite heavy investments of time and money.

When I see my blood sugar trend up, I am hopeful if it suddenly settles back down. Yet the tendency is more for a sudden dip to reverse and even exceed the original spike than vice-versa. Not much point in declaring final doom or victory yet. But skepticism seems more rational.





@JackHua46704097 Total coward stuff

Former Trump administration official William Wolfe admits that he and his fellow Christian nationalists intend to gain power and impose their morality upon everyone: "Frankly, yes, we are going to impose it upon you. If you don't like it, I'm sorry." peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…


Tom Bombadil stops the story cold. We are in an exciting cross-country trip as the hobbits pick their way through a creepy haunted forest to avoid the sinister Black Riders. A terrifying black huorn ensnares them. Poof! Here comes Tom deus-ex-machina Bombadil to save the hobbits from a threat which Tolkien seems to have created to give him an excuse to insert Bombadil. Then, just as the story starts to move again, Tom shows up a SECOND time as a deus-ex-machina to rescue the hobbits from the barrow wight. Ugh. Again stopping the story cold. What is Bombadil's function? He doesn't represent the Old Good Ways which the fellowship must save. Bombadil isn't threatened - he's a cheesy distraction. I'm not saying it's impossible to convince me that Bombadil is a Good Thing, but such a convincing would be an uphill battle, and I view Tom as one of Tolkien's missteps. I am happy Jackson left him out of the film, because it would have stopped the movie's flow too.


This is a misreading. Christians are obliged to work toward a biblically-based culture. BUT WITHIN LIMITS. We believe in Religious Liberty. Anything leaning toward theocracy is inherently against the biblical view. So Sharia & Catholic Integralism are un-American. VERY IMPORTANT.
